To Think or to Wonder

[benos]

BigJoni was describing a bad taste she had in the back / throat area, and I said, "maybe your getting a cold or a sore throat." Then I said, "that's what I think." And then without thinking, I added, "or that's what I'd wonder."

I paused to reflect on that. Man, what a difference in how those two statements affect the psyche. When you are thinking, you have decided. When you're wondering, you haven't decided. So I decided to wonder as much as possible, and allow decisions to me made by themselves.

If we used that in our dealing with other peoples it would go a long ways toward the elimination of bigotry and racism in this world.
